conversation with artist Sarah Mihara Creagen, commissioned as part of Art POP 2019

Born in Nova Scotia, Sarah Mihara Creagen is a white passing mixed-race Japanese Canadian queer artist currently based in Ontario, Canada. She received her MFA from Hunter College in 2018. Creagen was the recipient of the Kossak Travel grant which enabled her and her younger sister to travel to Japan in 2018. They retraced family roots, looked at art, and ate their way across the country.

Creagen has exhibited work in Toronto and New York, and has an upcoming solo show opening in November 2019 at Articule Gallery in Montreal. Creagen has had recent solo exhibitions at SPRING/BREAK Art Show and Hercules Gallery in New York, and is a 2018/2019 Queer|Art Mentorship Fellow paired with Neil Goldberg. She is currently participating as a Cottage Artist in Residence at the Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brant.

An interview with artist and filmmaker Dani tardif talks about the movie they directed with "Le Collectif de Hron"

https://www.facebook.com/hronlefilm/

«hron : a country of ghosts» is an heterotopian science fiction feature movie taking place in a queer universe. It's a friendship story through which people unite and believe that another way of living is possible, but that they must fight to preserve their way of life. Dydo Horacki, a trans non-binary journalist from the borolian empire, comes to the mountain regions of the Cerracs to report news from the front. As the Empire expects to quietly expand its borders, they will be surprised by resistance on land that was assumed to be uninhabited.

Featuring original music from the film:

Post-production sound & music : Dylan Obront

Sound and Music assistant : Michael Kalman

Music Assistant: Alastair Day

Party scene music: Sovannak

Cornelia Sollfrank (PhD) is an artist, researcher and university lecturer, currently living in Berlin.

Her means of expression include writing, performance, sound, video and (other) Internet-based formats. Recurring subjects in her artistic and academic work about digital cultures are authorship, self-organization, gender and techno-feminism. As a pioneer of Internet art, Cornelia Sollfrank built up a reputation with two central projects: the net.art generator – a web-based art-producing ‘machine,’ and Female Extension – her famous hack of the first competition for Internet art. Her experiments with the basic principles of aesthetic modernism implied conflicts with its institutional and legal framework and led to her academic research. In her PhD “Performing the Paradoxes of Intellectual Property,” Cornelia investigated the increasingly conflicting relationship between art and copyright.
